Tasks/Activities being deleted - Google Calendar Integration

Hi need help. I create an activity in Act, however, some not all (I don't understand why some and not others) of the activities are being deleted from Act. Here is the order than I can estimate:

- Create activity and sync with Google calendar

- the activity is NOT synced with Google calendar

- the next sync will delete the activity from Act. Of course is not on the Google calendar.

Within the integration preferences I have the "keep act activity," however, this assumes that there were changes made the same event in Google and act. Which there have been no changes. Additionally, I have the "leave the activity on the Google calendar" after it is cleared.

You note that this only occurs with some activities, but does it appear to be an issue with a particular type of activity (such as: meeting, call, to-do)?

Do you synchronize either Sage ACT! or Google with any other product or device?

Can you test with a new database? Create a new database, create a few activities and test the sync effect. This will determine if the issue is within your existing database or with the program as whole.

Sorry for the delayed response. There has been lots of testing and trials. I called for support and therefore, purchased the gold level support. So far they don't have an answer.

Here is an updated version of what is taking place.

The issue appears to be with "My Record." Activites that are scheduled with only "my record" are not syncing to google calendar. On the second sync attemp they are deleted from Act!.

We created a test database and the issue was still present. Therefore, they thought it was an application install issue and not a database issue.

I uninstalled the program including sql server 2008 R2. & reinstalled Act 2012 with service pack 1.

Opened the database and the issue is still there.

Created a new database and the issue is not there.

I then to to import the old/original database into the new database. The new database creates a new contact from my old "my record". I tried to sync an activity from the old my record contact and it still does not sync to google. The new my record does. Therefore, perhaps it is a problem with just that contact.

I then try to copy/merge the old my record contact information (notes, histories, etc... becuase I still need them) into the new my record using the duplicate merge tool. Now both do Not sync. It appears the issue is now back with the new database.

Re: Tasks/Activities being deleted - Google Calendar Integration

I created a new database and imported, then merge the old my record to the new one, merging just the notes. then I planned on merging history etc... until it broke. Well it broke on the first one.

More important however is that if I change what google calendar I sync to it seems to work! I use google apps. Therefore, I called google and asked if they would reset the calendar. Of course you can't/. Therefore, I "uninstalled" the application from the google apps suite. Then waited 24 hours and reinstalled it. Still broken!

Re: Tasks/Activities being deleted - Google Calendar Integration

If you sync ACT! to Outlook or Google ... and then sync Outlook/Google with anything else (eg a phone) you WILL eventually get either duplicates or lost data ... they do state this (or did) during the setup

Actually, I remember during the beta that the Google sync wiped all my activities (not just My Record) from ACT! a couple of times forcing me to restore from backup ... I haven't gone back to use them, preferring the reliability of the third-party tools
